Mintos has announced it has completed its European expansion with the roll out of the multi-asset trading platform across the continent.
The MiFID-authorized platform founded in 2015 has onboarded more than 500,000 users across Europe over the years and has reached over 600 million euros in assets under administration.
Passive funds have outpaced active funds in growth
2023 and 2024 were years of strong geographical expansion, where Mintos launched its operations in new European markets. To fuel growth, Mintos launched their second crowdfunding campaign with Crowdcube in April 2024, securing EUR 3.1 million. This campaign holds the position of the second largest crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube for the year so far.
The Germany-headquartered investing platform has completed its plan of expanding its European presence with official launches in Portugal and the Czech Republic in Q3 2024. Now, most EU citizens as well as additional eligible nationalities over the age of 18 can register and invest.
Mintos aligns with the growing shift towards passive investing by offering a diverse range of options designed for long-term growth. Recent data underscores a shift towards passive investing, especially during market volatility. Passive funds have outpaced active funds in growth, with assets under management increasing by an average of 11% annually over the past decade.
Notably, in volatile years like 2018, 2022, and 2023, the net flows to passive funds surpassed active funds by approximately €470 billion. This trend reflects a broader preference for stable, long-term investment strategies.
With loans, bonds, ETFs, real estate, and Smart Cash, Mintos offers a mix of alternative and traditional investments for long-term investors. This one-of-a-kind offering enables retail investors to consolidate their portfolios and easily manage all their long-term investments from a single platform.
Martins Sulte, CEO and co-founder of Mintos, said: “Our expansion across Europe is a significant step in making high-quality investment opportunities more accessible to more retail investors. We’re committed to helping investors of all experience levels diversify their portfolios with a balanced mix of traditional and alternative assets.”
It was in 2023 that Mintos transformed into a multi-asset investment platform, introducing Fractional Bonds and ETFs alongside its core business of investing in loans. This year, the platform kept expanding its selection of products and added rental real estate and Smart Cash as the retail brokerage aims to become the preferred platform for long-term investors in Europe.
